Lyrics
Children will listen, nothing is all black but then nothing is all white
How do you say it will all be alright, how can you say to a child who s in flight Barbra, children will glisten
How do you say to your child in the night, careful the wish you make, children will listen
children will see
Children may not obey, careful the things you do
children will look to you
Guide them but step away, careful the spell you cast Children, what can you say that no matter how slight won t be misunderstood
when you know that it mightn t be true
careful what you say
Careful the wish you make, to learn what to be
Temper with what is true, careful before you say
careful you do it too
careful the wish you make
And children will turn, and turn against you
and children will turn
Children will listen, how do you say it will all be alright
wishes are children
Careful what you say, not just on children
careful you do it too
Children may not obey, what do you leave to your child when you re dead Will, and turn against you
